Everything you need to know about Rainbow Six Siege X’s PC optimization, including the best settings to use for optimal performance.
Rainbow Six Siege X is easily the biggest overhaul the game has received since its launch back in 2015. The new update not only overhauls the game’s core gameplay but also adds a plethora of new modes for players to delve into. Furthermore, with the update, Ubisoft is also introducing major enhancements to the game’s visuals, particularly in the lighting department. While the game still uses AnvilNext, it’s getting a major uplift courtesy of the new Anvil Pipeline, which aims to add new visual features while retaining the performance that Six Siege players are accustomed to. The game is also among the very few titles on current-gen consoles to feature support for native120fpsat 4K.
However, with the visual overhaul, the game is also significantly more taxing on PC. In fact, with Six Siege X, Ubisoft has bumped the game’s system requirements substantially. However, as long as you have a decent modern GPU, you should be able to play Six Siege X at a solid 60fps, albeit with some tweaks. Here’s a comprehensive PC optimization guide for Rainbow Six Siege X.

Settings that Impact Performance in Rainbow Six Siege X
Rainbow Six Siege X is essentially using the same engine as Ubisoft’s most recent few releases, a laAssassin’s Creed ShadowsandSkull and Bones. However, since the game is also available on previous-gen consoles, it’s optimized to be less resource-intensive. For starters, the game does not use any form of ray tracing for its lighting and global illumination. Instead, Six Siege X relies on baked lighting and screen space reflections. However, on PC and current-gen consoles, Six Siege X does feature a vastly improved rendering pipeline. The game also features higher resolution textures, which explains the minimum4 GBVRAM requirement.
Nevertheless, as long as you have at least6 GBof VRAM, the game will run perfectly fine at 1080p. For higher resolutions, you might have to switch to lower presets or use a GPU with more than 8 GB VRAM. At 1440p, the game regularly goes past the 8 GB mark in terms of VRAM usage. You can offset the VRAM usage with the use of upscalers. However, if you plan to play the game on native 1440p or 4K, you will need at least 12 GB of VRAM. The settings that impact performance the most are –Texture Quality(VRAM dependent),Shading Quality,Shadow Quality, andVFX Quality.
